Description: In my first ever live session on the AI Learning Lab TikTok channel (https://www.tiktok.com/@aiLearningLab) on April 29, 2023, I share my insider perspective on the rapidly evolving AI landscape. I see strong parallels to the early days of the consumer internet in the 90s. This is just the beginning of a shift that will transform how we work, create and live. But with great opportunity comes responsibility. I discuss AI's tremendous potential if guided thoughtfully, as well as risks we must navigate. Drawing from my 20+ years as a tech entrepreneur, I aim to provide balanced, leading-edge insights into the AI revolution underway. My goal is to get viewers curious and engaged with these powerful new tools, so together we can build an optimistic future.

0:00 hey everybody 0:01 if you have any questions about AI feel 0:04 free to 0:05 drop it in the chat and I'll address 0:08 anything 0:09 one of the things that 0:12 I've talked about on the channel I've 0:14 actually got these things pinned is that 0:17 I think what we're going through in in 0:18 2023 with AI is very very reminiscent of 0:23 what I experienced in 1995 when I 0:25 discovered the World Wide Web discovered 0:27 it in 94 and started one of the early 0:30 online magazines and 0:33 this this time is is very very similar 0:37 where not a lot of people know what's 0:41 going on 0:42 um even though a lot of people are using 0:44 this and 0:45 certainly on Tick Tock and YouTube there 0:47 are a lot of people telling you they 0:49 know what's going on the reality is 0:50 nobody knows what's going on 0:52 um 0:53 we are so incredibly early the 0:56 difference between then and now is that 1:00 the speed of innovation is is 1:04 dramatically higher and the 1:08 um the quality of the output of the 1:10 tools is 1:12 um 1:13 is way more impressive so what you can 1:16 do with AI compared to what you could do 1:18 with the web that can 1:20 in the mid 90s like the the web in the 1:23 mid 90s was ridiculous you know you 1:24 could do hyperlinks and you could input 1:26 some images but that was about it 1:28 anything else was was very very uh it 1:32 was just very very basic but even with 1:34 that basic stuff we we did some 1:37 remarkable things 1:39 um what's happening with AI is the tools 1:41 are profoundly more powerful 1:45 um just I like it 1:47 I think I've said this in a couple of of 1:50 of my videos that I just I feel like for 1:53 the past four months I've just been my 1:55 jaw's been hanging open about everything 1:57 that is coming 2:00 um 2:00 or everything that's here and and how 2:03 quickly everything's coming so uh yeah 2:06 it's it's crazy uh welcome if you're 2:09 here I see 19 of you if you have any 2:11 questions uh put them in the chat I'm 2:14 happy to 2:16 you talking about links or what I'm 2:18 talking about AI I'm talking about 2:20 generative AI 2:22 and what's that say 2:26 um you can ask me about AI I don't know 2:28 anything about links uh I don't even 2:30 know if that's a game or an operating 2:32 system or what 2:34 or do you mean links back in the 90s 2:36 like Lynx browsers 2:38 uh that were text browsers uh I was 2:40 talking about the parallels between 2:43 um 2:43 the World Wide Web sort of being birthed 2:47 and coming alive in the mid 90s 2:49 and how that compares to what's going on 2:51 right now with uh with AI and and that 2:55 there's a lot of parallels there and 2:58 [Music] 2:59 it's 3:01 here's the feeling that I have 3:02 everything has changed but nobody knows 3:05 it yet how we do everything we're gonna 3:08 do from work 3:10 to how we create software 3:12 um to how we interact is going to 3:17 um is going to change 3:19 hello Chanel how are you good to see you 3:22 uh if anyone has any questions about AI 3:24 about some of the tech going on or if 3:27 they're trying something and can't 3:29 figure it figure it out please let me 3:31 know hey from Toronto 3:34 um I'm happy to talk about it this is my 3:37 first live so I'm just trying to figure 3:38 out you know do I have anything 3:39 interesting to say do you have any 3:41 interesting questions is it worth me 3:42 doing this uh so so let me know uh how 3:46 this could be of value 3:47 let's see so I've seen a lot of AI 3:50 avatars that speak on Tick Tock how do 3:53 they generate that 3:55 so there's there's a lot of different 3:57 ways to do that 3:59 um there there's a site called Synthesia 4:03 there's a site called 4:05 d-i-d.com 4:07 there's I don't know there's there's a 4:09 handful of them and you can create those 4:13 avatars in one of two ways you can just 4:15 type text and it will create fully 4:17 synthesized 4:19 um 4:20 uh voices or you can record audio and 4:24 then it will animate a face to that 4:27 recorded audio so 4:30 um yeah let's see 4:34 um 4:35 can I say Michael cheese Harry 4:39 Michael my coochie's Harry is that what 4:41 you're trying to go to yeah I can say 4:42 that 4:43 I don't have a coochie but happy to say 4:45 that 4:46 let's see uh what else do we have here 4:49 good to see you good to see you too 4:51 um I came in late but I love the topic 4:53 yeah topics AI if you want to chat AI 4:56 hang around ask me questions 4:58 uh encourage my viewers to share your 5:02 life all right share this live and 5:03 encourage your friends to come see you 5:06 don't have to do that 5:08 um I can pin a comment uh yeah so I'm 5:11 Kyle Shannon this is the AI learning lab 5:12 if you are if you just stumbled on here 5:15 my channel is all about talking about 5:16 generative AI 5:18 um how quickly it's coming uh what its 5:21 implications are how to incorporate it 5:23 into your business or into your life or 5:25 if those two are very blurry 5:28 um how to deal with that 5:29 uh Synthesia uh 5:34 s-y-n-t-h-e-s-i-a is one of them and 5:37 dash id.com in fact I can go there hang 5:40 on 5:41 go to Dash id.com 5:46 this is one of the ones I've used before 5:48 so let me log in here 5:52 and hold on I'm logging on 5:57 um 6:02 yeah so if I say create video 6:06 let's see so here's the thing so I've 6:08 got some images down here I've got some 6:10 that I created and put in there so 6:11 here's here's one of me um from my uh 6:14 Kyle Shannon dreams project so I can now 6:18 just 6:19 um select a voice 6:21 so we'll grab a dude we'll grab I don't 6:23 know who's this Stefan 6:26 this is Stefan in American English and 6:28 then we'll type in something here 6:30 hello 6:32 Tick Tock live 6:34 how 6:36 are you 6:38 this is how you make an animated Avatar 6:48 um 6:49 oh let's see hope 6:52 fully 6:54 this makes it make more sense what's 6:58 what's remarkable about this Tech and 7:00 now I'm going to say generate video 7:03 and it's going to do that what's 7:05 remarkable about this Tech is that you 7:07 know this is the kind of thing that even 7:09 six months ago you would have had to 7:10 import this into 7:12 you know 3D software like blender create 7:15 meshes 7:17 create animation uh Frameworks I forget 7:20 what they're called and do it and now 7:22 I'm just taking an image that I created 7:25 in 7:26 um in mid-journey or this was stable 7:28 diffusion actually I uploaded it into 7:31 this thing talk live 7:34 how are you this is how you make an 7:37 animated Avatar hopefully this makes it 7:39 make more sense 7:42 right 7:43 so that's that's how it it uh that's how 7:46 it works hey gen xer here that is blown 7:49 away by IAI yeah hello fellow gen xer 7:53 um we're out there nobody talks about us 7:55 much but but we're out there kicking ass 7:58 so so welcome Gen X uh so so I'm happy 8:03 to show you anything if you guys want to 8:05 take a look I'm happy to show you 8:06 anything if I know how to do it 8:08 um is w h Will Wait we'll let 8:14 will Buck AI with mask in any way I 8:17 don't know what that means let's see so 8:20 are you a lecturer Professor or just an 8:21 expert in this field 8:23 I hope it's not a rude question it's not 8:25 a rude question I don't know what I am I 8:27 am just a guy I'm an entrepreneur 8:30 um I'm the CEO of a company called 8:32 storyvine uh we'll be 11 years old on 8:34 May 1st so we've been around for a while 8:36 I've been I'm a Storyteller by training 8:39 and 8:41 um I was very active in the early days 8:43 of the web so I started one of the first 8:44 digital agencies and one of the first 8:46 online magazines 8:48 um I think this AI stuff is the second 8:51 big revolution of technical Revolution 8:54 that I will have experienced in my life 8:55 actually the third the first one was the 8:58 PC Revolution when I was in in seventh 9:00 grade I got my first hands on my first 9:02 PC and I recognized that I was just too 9:05 young to be part of that Revolution but 9:07 you know recognized that it was a big 9:09 deal the web in my opinion was the next 9:11 big revolution that kind of changed how 9:14 we communicate you know entirely and I 9:17 think this AI stuff is the third one so 9:19 I started this Channel about four months 9:22 ago 9:23 um really just as a way to kind of 9:25 process what I was learning and to kind 9:27 of get things out of my head 9:29 um so I do I Don't lecture I'm not a 9:32 professor but I love teaching and I love 9:34 evangelizing this stuff because I think 9:36 that 9:37 it's tremendously exciting what's going 9:39 on right now but it's also tremendously 9:42 scary and I think the level of 9:44 disruption is going to be 9:47 insane 9:48 uh and and I think that the best 9:51 antidote 9:53 to to both the fear and the impact of AI 9:57 is to get curious about it to learn 9:59 about it um to explore it to figure it 10:01 out so so that's what this channel is 10:03 about that's what uh 10:06 that's what my whole MO is lately 10:09 um this is my first live so I don't 10:11 really know what the hell I'm doing here 10:12 so if I suck just you know let me know 10:15 uh true it's very scary uh White House 10:18 oh so there's a thing about the White 10:19 House here 10:21 is is the White House going to block I 10:23 AI or mask it in any way well 10:26 okay so so that's that's a really good 10:28 question 10:31 um 10:34 the power of AI is profound it's its 10:38 ability to do both tremendous good and 10:40 tremendous damage is out there 10:43 um I think 10:45 prior to November 30th 2022 this would 10:48 be a very different conversation 10:50 um the significance of that date that 10:52 was the date that chat GPT was released 10:54 why is chat GPT a big deal well it's 10:58 it's a very similar kind of uh comparing 11:01 it back to the 90s the internet had been 11:03 around for decades and the World Wide 11:05 Web now made that internet much more 11:07 accessible to just regular people if you 11:09 could learn a little bit of HTML you 11:10 could build a website and you could you 11:12 know participate in the internet 11:14 it was much harder than that before 11:17 um chat EPT is a similar kind of simple 11:19 interface on a thing that had really 11:21 just been relegated to data scientists 11:23 and and Geeks and things like that 11:25 there's a lot of other things go on that 11:27 led up to chat GPT 11:30 but to to put it in perspective the 11:34 um 11:35 the World Wide Web to get to 100 million 11:38 users took 11:40 um eight years chat GPT got to 100 11:43 million users in two months two months 11:46 and so what's happened is this 11:48 um the the the the the massive adoption 11:51 of chat GPT has essentially forced all 11:54 the other companies Google meta I'm sure 11:57 we're going to see something from Apple 11:58 in June 11:59 um AWS 12:01 plus a lot of Open Source projects to to 12:03 push all of their technology out into 12:05 the marketplace I don't think I I 12:07 honestly don't think that would have 12:09 happened I think these companies tend to 12:11 be conservative and they keep it all 12:12 behind closed doors check EBT has sort 12:15 of forced everyone Out of the Shadows 12:18 um so so many many people are starting 12:21 to use these tools now and they are you 12:25 know going to impact business and 12:28 um revenue and profitability and 12:32 disinformation in an election year all 12:35 of this stuff is gonna it's gonna come 12:36 at us quite quickly so I think that 12:38 regulation is required 12:41 um I don't think the White House is I 12:43 mean if you look at the hearings on Tick 12:45 Tock alone I mean the the Congress 12:48 people they don't understand how basic 12:51 Wi-Fi works so I don't know I don't know 12:54 quite how they're going to regulate 12:55 something like AI I think they will try 12:58 to regulate it 13:00 um I think they will fail miserably for 13:03 a while the the other thing that's 13:04 happened last week four different 13:07 large language models were released to 13:10 the to open source stability AI released 13:13 one there was Dali 2.0 d-o-l-l-y not the 13:17 image generation thing but uh Dolly I 13:20 forget the name of the company that that 13:21 had it 13:22 um but but these open source large 13:25 language models 13:26 um are open source they're not going to 13:28 have any safety controls on them so I 13:30 think regulations needed I don't think 13:32 the White House is going to be able to 13:34 put their their arms around this thing I 13:36 don't think anyone is I think I think 13:38 this is 13:39 um cat out of the bag technology so 13:41 so that's what's going on let me see 13:43 what other comments we have here 13:46 um 13:48 I'm in China the Chinese 13:51 uh already broken chat GPT I've heard 13:54 they're trying to make their I'm sure 13:55 they are I listen I think I think 13:58 um Chinese artificial intelligence is 14:00 probably quite Advanced I I would assume 14:03 it's quite Advanced now it might not be 14:05 Advanced and out in the Public's hands 14:08 um but yeah I think I think China's 14:10 probably got some data scientists and I 14:12 I think 14:14 the technology that chat GPT was built 14:17 on everybody's had access to since 2017. 14:20 so so everything that we're seeing right 14:21 now whether it's image generation or 14:23 these audio generation things or the 14:26 um text to video or chat gbt or Bard or 14:30 or you know anything anthropic all of 14:32 their sort of stuff is all based on this 14:34 technology that Google created and 14:36 introduced in 2017. called the 14:40 Transformer and the the big deal about 14:42 the Transformer is that it allowed 14:44 these AI neural networks to be trained 14:48 on massive amounts of data and chat GPT 14:51 in particular a couple of things made a 14:53 powerful 14:54 um gpt3 14:56 um was was the one that was kind of 14:57 trained on all of the internet 15:00 um and then they used a thing called 15:03 human reinforcement learning where they 15:04 had human beings at open AI use the tool 15:08 get the answers back and then they would 15:10 give it sort of thumbs up thumbs down of 15:12 whether that answer was good or not and 15:14 very very quickly the tool got better at 15:16 what it did by humans telling it whether 15:19 the answer was good or not 15:20 the other thing that happened which is 15:22 really fascinating is they also 15:25 um trained it up on programming 15:27 languages so they made it very very good 15:29 at coding understanding code 15:32 and an interesting thing happened that 15:34 was I think they called them emergent 15:36 properties 15:37 um the emergent property that came out 15:40 when they taught 15:41 gpt3 how to code or you know to 15:44 understand code was that the language 15:46 processing got dramatically better so I 15:48 think my my 15:50 um uh you know uh sort of fake 15:53 assumption or just my assumption based 15:56 on no knowledge is that if it 15:58 understands programming logic and 15:59 understands logic better 16:01 um and so I think that made the language 16:02 better so so 16:05 um they they had a dramatic breakthrough 16:07 the reason chat GPT or gpt3 was so good 16:11 I think was this combination of of 16:13 programming understanding code and 16:15 understanding this massive data set all 16:17 of the internet basically 16:20 um and then gpt4 is just a much more 16:21 sophisticated version of that so back to 16:23 the China thing 16:25 um 16:26 how open AI did what they did is is 16:29 probably relatively straightforward from 16:32 a technical perspective uh to replicate 16:34 the elements that they used the the sort 16:37 of proprietary bits about how they train 16:39 things that might be harder to reverse 16:42 engineer but I don't know I'm not a data 16:44 scientist so uh so it's very possible 16:46 that 16:48 um 16:49 that they can reverse engineer in China 16:52 um but I here's the thing about these 16:55 large language models I think the large 16:56 language models are going to be 16:58 ubiquitous they're going to be 16:59 everywhere everyone's going to have one 17:00 you're going to have lots of different 17:02 um options to choose from there's going 17:05 to be open source really crazy versions 17:07 that have no safety controls on them 17:09 there's going to be ones that are used 17:11 by business that have lots of safety 17:12 controls on them there's going to be 17:14 large language models that are built on 17:16 top of private data sets like there's 17:18 one called Bloomberg GPT that's based on 17:22 Bloomberg proprietary financial data 17:25 um so these things are going to be 17:26 everywhere so 17:28 that's my two cents on that let's see 17:31 any other questions feel free to ask 17:33 questions about 17:35 um anything AI I can I can show you 17:37 things on screen uh if if you've got 17:40 things you want to see I can mess around 17:43 with GPT and show you their chat GPT and 17:46 show you some of the things I'm doing 17:47 there I'm also happy just to talk about 17:51 uh whatever Jasper uh Jasper meaning the 17:54 the copywriting tool hang on 18:00 Jasper AI so yeah so Jasper is 18:03 interesting Jasper came out before chat 18:06 GPT 18:08 and 18:10 where is it there it is 18:12 um but Jasper is built it's basically a 18:15 front end on top of 18:18 um gpt3 at this point it's probably on 18:20 top of gpt4 18:22 um but but Jasper is basically like a 18:24 really fancy version of chat GPT and and 18:28 so all of the little tools that they 18:30 have like here's a Blog writing tool and 18:32 a tweet writing tool those are just 18:33 basically pre-prompted little 18:36 um uh tools that sit on top of GPT so 18:40 it's actually 18:42 quite similar technically to to chat GPT 18:46 but it's much more specialized for for a 18:50 bunch of specific writing tasks you 18:52 could accomplish just using chat GPT and 18:54 clever prompting all of the same things 18:56 that Jasper does that you pay for but 18:59 you'd have to figure out the prompts to 19:00 get it to do that well 19:02 um so so there's and that's actually an 19:05 important thing to understand that using 19:08 the core model using GPT 3.5 or gpt4 19:13 um where you're interacting with the 19:15 model directly gives you a lot more 19:18 power and flexibility but you have to 19:20 figure everything out there's going to 19:22 be a whole series of 19:24 um applications that are built where 19:26 someone has figured out ah I figured out 19:29 a way to have chat EBT help you write a 19:31 novel and all that's going to be is 19:33 they've figured out a series of prompts 19:35 in a row that walk you through you know 19:37 asking you a series of question and 19:39 they're basically just sending their 19:40 prompts to to the G GPT models to give 19:43 you those answers so if you are curious 19:47 and and like to explore things figure 19:51 that stuff out on your own if you're not 19:53 and you're just like I want a tool to 19:54 help me write for my business 19:56 um then use Jasper or copy AIS another 19:59 one 20:01 um McKinsey 20:03 I forget McKenzie's last name but but 20:06 the guy who created um GPT boss he's 20:09 doing one of these where where rather 20:11 than it being writing tools you're 20:12 hiring different assistants so you've 20:14 got a writing assistant and a marketing 20:17 assistant and a coding assistant and 20:18 things like that so so that's what those 20:20 tools are all about 20:22 let's see AI can now do let's see have I 20:26 tried any plugins code I've I've tried a 20:29 little bit of the plugins I haven't 20:30 played a lot they're they're really 20:33 weird right now like how you find 20:35 plug-ins they're not making it easy for 20:37 you to find plugins I think on purpose 20:40 um the plugins right now are very 20:41 limited it's it's relatively easy to 20:44 develop a plug-in I haven't done it yet 20:46 but it's relatively easy to develop them 20:49 but then you can only give them to like 20:52 15 people so so the plug-in thing right 20:54 now is incredibly promising but I think 20:57 they're trying to figure out all the 20:58 safety issues 21:00 um I know that there's a browsing 21:01 plug-in which that one I'm really 21:03 interested in I don't have access to it 21:05 yet but the browsing plugin will allow 21:07 you to have chat GPT if it doesn't have 21:10 up-to-date information like anything 21:12 post September 2021 you can go out and 21:16 search on the internet and find that 21:17 data and incorporate that into your 21:19 answer or you could do citations things 21:21 like that 21:23 um so I haven't tried them yet but I 21:25 mean I have tried them but I haven't dug 21:26 in deep enough to really know what's 21:28 going on there so I'm kind of useless 21:29 there all right AI can now do 21:31 predictions for Market stock that's 21:33 interesting no 21:35 um it is interesting I you know again I 21:39 I feel like there are tremendous amount 21:41 of people on Tick Tock and YouTube going 21:43 you know you can write a trading bot 21:45 with chat gbt and make thousands a day 21:48 and you know they show one example where 21:50 it made some money and then you know the 21:52 rest of them I think they lose money I 21:54 think I think trading bots in general 21:56 people have been trying to make trading 21:58 Bots that can can outsmart the market 22:01 for decades uh and haven't successfully 22:04 done it or if they have they're staying 22:07 quiet about it because they're getting 22:08 rich on it you know people tend to get 22:10 rich writing trading Bots by selling 22:12 them to other people 22:14 um so 22:15 um that's not to say that 22:19 um chechi PT or you know gpd4 or 22:22 whatever you know these large language 22:24 models 22:25 won't be able to help us solve issues 22:28 like that so I think at some point 22:29 someone's going to figure out a way to 22:31 to predict a marketer to do predictions 22:33 in a way that's actually valid and not 22:36 just scammy whether or not they share 22:39 that with the world we'll have to see 22:41 um let's see latest news 22:45 would I recommend any online courses 22:47 related to understanding these things in 22:50 chat gbt 22:51 um not really we're we're so early here 22:55 that here's what I can tell you about 22:57 experts 22:59 um even like myself is don't trust any 23:01 of them because anyone that tells you 23:03 they know what's going on is lying now 23:06 does that mean there aren't experts out 23:08 there who figured out really clever ways 23:10 to write GPT prompts sure there are and 23:13 you could take those courses but you can 23:16 also find that information for free you 23:18 could also have here's a fun one 23:21 have chat GPT be your tutor ask it to um 23:26 tell you how to write prompts 23:29 um for for the project you want to do 23:31 and then use the prompts it gives you 23:32 and if you don't understand something 23:34 tell it to teach you 23:36 um I would say that's that's probably 23:38 more effective than paying someone to 23:40 teach you because the problem with by 23:41 the time you put a course together 23:43 even if you use GPT to put it together 23:46 quickly it's already out of date 23:48 um so so any of these courses you're 23:51 going to kind of be behind the eight 23:52 ball just things are things are moving 23:53 so fast so 23:55 um 23:56 if if you feel really lost and like you 24:00 don't know where to start you can do 24:01 that I would say in that case you know 24:04 follow on Tick Tock if you find people 24:06 that are doing stuff or YouTube there's 24:09 plenty of tutorials out there for free 24:10 that can get you started 24:12 um one way to do this is I I think there 24:15 are there are two things that you can 24:16 start with that that are 24:19 um are the place to start to just start 24:21 to get your head around this one is text 24:23 generation so chat GPT and one is image 24:26 generation so stable diffusion or 24:29 mid-journey or Dolly 24:31 um any of those kind of tools and and I 24:33 created on on The Tick Tock channel here 24:36 a thing called the 2023 smart challenge 24:38 which is 24:40 um 24:41 pick a project or pick two projects one 24:44 personal and one for your business or 24:47 your community or your family and use a 24:50 combination of chat GPT and image 24:53 generation to 24:55 do a project to solve a problem it could 24:57 be create a children's book for your kid 24:59 it could be I don't know 25:03 um solve a marketing problem for your 25:05 community organization or for your 25:07 business 25:08 um and rather than just trying to figure 25:11 out what do I do with chat GPT actually 25:13 try to solve a problem so so someone 25:15 comes to you and says you know I don't 25:17 know how to put together a marketing 25:18 plan use Chachi PT to do that that's 25:20 probably the best way to learn right now 25:22 is just get your hands on these tools 25:24 and start playing so hope that helps 25:27 um 25:28 where do you see AI in 50 years this is 25:31 a great question I I wouldn't have had 25:32 an answer to this but I I talked to a 25:34 friend of mine who said he's been 25:36 thinking about AI in a 30 to 50 year 25:38 time frame 25:40 and and he gave me the answer so I'm 25:41 going to basically just parrot his 25:43 answer because I think it's quite good 25:44 he said he thinks in a 30 to 50 year 25:46 time frame the impact on AI is that 25:49 everything that's complicated right now 25:51 will be simple meaning this any 25:54 complicated system like say 25:58 um 25:59 buying a house or buying a car or doing 26:02 your taxes or selling a business 26:05 anything you know a lawsuit just 26:09 anything that's complicated 26:11 will be fully automated all of the 26:13 complicated parts will be taken care of 26:16 by Ai and and so everything will get 26:18 quite simple you will ask for things and 26:21 the complicated stuff will be done 26:23 I think one of the possible implications 26:25 of that is that it it returns us as 26:28 humans back to reconnecting as humans 26:31 that the machines can start to do 26:34 let's see 26:36 invite to wait what is this what am I 26:39 accepting here sorry hold please 26:41 I don't know someone invited me to do 26:43 something I don't know what it was 26:45 um anyway so so 26:47 um and and the implications of that are 26:48 quite profound so for example right now 26:50 if you want to use all of the super 26:53 secret tax loopholes you have to be kind 26:55 of loaded and have the best accountants 26:57 in the world and and you know they 26:59 figure out those tax Loops loopholes for 27:01 you and invest in the Cayman Islands and 27:03 do all that crap right they're expert at 27:06 at managing the complex systems and they 27:08 get paid a lot of money to do that 27:10 well what happens when everyone in the 27:12 world has this effectively the the 27:14 world's best accountant doing all of 27:16 that work for them well the revenue that 27:19 that is lost by everyone having all the 27:22 tax loopholes will change tax laws 27:25 um same if if the FED drops their rate 27:28 right now not everyone refinances their 27:31 home because it's complicated but you 27:32 could have a system where the minute the 27:34 FED drops the interest rate your house 27:36 automatically or you know your system 27:38 automatically refinances your house 27:40 so so I think very complicated systems 27:43 get very very simple and I think the the 27:45 you know the the impact of that is that 27:48 laws will have to change how we interact 27:50 will change all that sort of stuff so I 27:52 don't know what a I will look like but I 27:53 think that 27:54 um it's very possible that a lot of the 27:57 complexity that our world today is based 27:59 on 28:00 um kind of drops into background noise 28:02 which which would be kind of nice I 28:04 would I would like it not to be so 28:05 complicated what are my thoughts on the 28:07 impacts of the management 28:09 Consulting industry knowledge workers 28:12 are in trouble so what I would say is 28:15 this 28:16 um to the extent that you rely on time 28:20 and materials to the extent that you 28:23 take two weeks to answer a question for 28:26 your clients to the extent that you rely 28:29 on I don't know a scarcity mindset 28:33 um to to drive the value of your 28:34 business you're in trouble 28:37 um because 28:41 a lot of the work that you do as a 28:43 consultant I do I do a fair amount of 28:45 this work and a lot of the work that you 28:47 do is asking questions and then going 28:50 away and doing research and then 28:51 formulating an answer and things like 28:54 that and and I think that clients are 28:57 increasingly going to be able to do that 28:59 for themselves so one of the one of the 29:01 things that will happen is 29:02 I think demand for Consulting Services 29:06 will precipitously drop but it won't be 29:08 an obvious thing you'll probably still 29:10 have your annual contracts but you just 29:12 may interact with people less because 29:13 there's effectively self-servicing 29:16 um Consulting you know asking questions 29:18 and getting decent answers 29:20 um again I think there's a there's a a 29:23 very real possibility that the high-end 29:25 Consultants the ones that that the 29:27 businesses really trust 29:30 um 29:31 will be could have driven to do more 29:33 more human interaction more more back 29:35 and forth interaction so 29:37 um so I don't think Consulting is dead 29:38 but I think the business changes 29:40 dramatically I think you're gonna have 29:41 to respond you know within 24 hours if 29:45 not within an hour 29:47 um to to relatively complicated 29:49 questions I would think that 29:52 um one of the I'm working with a an 29:54 organization right now to do this if 29:56 you've got proprietary information about 29:59 how you analyze things how you look at 30:01 the world your world view creating a 30:03 chat bot that lets someone interact with 30:05 your effectively your intellectual 30:07 property in real time a tool like that 30:10 and then and then once they get their 30:11 answers with your proprietary 30:13 information they can say Okay I want to 30:15 talk to Jim about you know this thing 30:17 that I found 30:18 um I think something like that may work 30:20 but I think I think the model changes I 30:21 think the how you build clients changes 30:24 I I think expectations change how you 30:26 sell it changes where the value is 30:28 changes uh but it's not listen I think 30:30 this is is for every industry out there 30:33 I mean knowledge work in general is is 30:35 in in a mess uh let's see I have to go 30:37 thank you you're welcome you're an 30:39 expert much respect I'm not an expert I 30:41 am I'm curious and trying to learn as 30:45 much as I can from the fire hose uh I'm 30:47 doing my best so thank you for that uh 30:50 big implications to labor markets big 30:51 implications to any Market I I think 30:54 um if you look at if you think of 30:56 business as a square right you have you 30:59 have kind of horizontal people at 31:01 different levels and and um the sort of 31:05 tactical stuff happens at the bottom 31:07 level the Strategic stuff happens at the 31:09 top level and then it's kind of you know 31:11 varying degrees of that as you go down 31:12 through this Square 31:14 think what happens with um with AI is 31:17 that 31:18 um the the bottom the executional layer 31:20 of businesses is going to get automated 31:22 out right so but it's not necessarily 31:25 just the the the lower level or entry 31:27 level people are going to be automated 31:29 out it's also that a lot of the stuff 31:31 that happens in the mid-level and the 31:33 Strategic level that also gets impacted 31:35 so I think you won't need as many VPS to 31:38 figure out strategies and plans because 31:40 you'll be able to do that so I think I 31:43 think you know throughout an 31:44 organization 31:46 um the value of of certain people or the 31:50 requirements of their work may just be 31:52 automated away and then what happens 31:54 next is the real question right we're in 31:57 a capitalist Society so do we just 32:00 um let go of those people and become 32:02 more profitable or do we redeploy those 32:05 people to use these tools to make 32:07 ourselves more productive or increase 32:08 the quality of our work I think both are 32:11 options I'm a fan of like you know do 32:13 better work and charge less for it 32:16 um but yeah who knows who knows 32:20 um thank you so much for your time and 32:21 your answer you're welcome um jukebox AI 32:24 M voice can write a song and sing it 32:26 yeah the the music industry right now if 32:29 you look there was there was a song that 32:31 was put out by it featured it wasn't by 32:35 it featured synthesized voices of Drake 32:38 and the weekend and it was an AI 32:40 composed song it was put on Spotify it 32:43 got like 20 million streams you know on 32:46 Spotify and other services and spotify's 32:48 taking it down 32:50 um 32:51 but 32:52 you know that wasn't by 32:55 um uh that wasn't by Drake or the 32:58 weekend that was just that was like fan 33:00 art right that was like fan so a fan 33:02 created a song featuring those people 33:04 and it got all these hits so it was kind 33:07 of them singing but it wasn't and I 33:09 think I heard I I forget which artist it 33:12 was I think it was sizza one of the one 33:14 of the singing artists just put out a 33:17 thing that she said she said synthesize 33:19 my voice make all the music you want 33:21 just split split it with me 50 50. which 33:24 I thought is fascinating so so I think 33:26 you're gonna see artists where they 33:28 don't even necessarily need to put out 33:29 music other people can put the music uh 33:32 out there as well 33:33 um thanks Kyle this is James from 33:35 acomdays hey James how's it going I 33:37 don't know which James James uh there 33:39 were a few James I knew but uh I think I 33:42 might know who that is but anyway hey 33:43 there how's it going 33:46 um let's see 33:48 um yeah so the music industry is going 33:49 to be really interesting 33:51 um you know intellectual property law I 33:54 feel like the next 20 years the people 33:55 that are gonna get really rich are the 33:57 IP lawyers because they're going to be 33:59 suing on both sides for decades and and 34:02 there's no real right answer 34:04 um this is this is going to take a lot 34:05 of years to sort out because there's a 34:07 lot of gray areas 34:09 um 34:10 yeah so uh 34:12 what else what else can I answer if 34:14 you've got any um questions feel free to 34:17 ask them I've got two new messages I'm 34:20 new to this live thing so I don't quite 34:22 know what to do oh it's Grimes that's 34:24 right Grimes is the the artist that 34:26 offered the 50 50 deal wait is Grimes 34:29 the one that was was Elon musk's 34:30 girlfriend for a while no that was 34:32 someone else or was that Grimes I don't 34:34 know I'm I'm too old for this I 34:37 don't I don't I don't know pop culture 34:40 anymore at all 34:42 uh yes okay so so so actually it's 34:46 that's kind of interesting that that 34:48 Elon musk's ex is the one that put that 34:50 deal out there hmm interesting that's 34:52 very that's I think it's actually quite 34:54 smart because because here's the thing 34:56 any artist who's who's got a well-known 34:58 following right now I mean I only need 35:01 30 seconds of anyone's voice probably 35:03 less than that to really synthesize it 35:05 so 35:07 so anyone who's out there 35:09 um you know whether it's actors or voice 35:12 over actors or musicians who's got you 35:14 know um content in the public 35:16 Marketplace or interviews that they've 35:18 done 35:19 um you're gonna be able to synthesize 35:20 them right and you're going to be able 35:21 to synthesize their looking look if you 35:24 want it and match it to whatever the the 35:26 music video is you want to produce 35:27 you're going to be able to write music 35:29 that sounds like their music without 35:30 having any of those skills 35:32 um so so this is going to happen whether 35:34 artists want it to or not and and you 35:36 know you essentially can't sue everyone 35:39 right people will try but but you know 35:42 we're moving into a world okay here so 35:45 here's an interesting thing copyright 35:47 law is based on copyright and trademark 35:50 law is based on a scarcity mindset 35:52 meaning it was difficult to create 35:54 things in the early days and as we moved 35:56 into digital it got easier and easier to 35:58 produce stuff but you still had to have 36:00 talent and and put the things together 36:02 and it was much more clear you know if 36:04 you were stealing something you were 36:06 literally you know copying and pasting 36:08 elements from you know initially from 36:10 tape and then digitally you know 36:12 snipping Parts together and all the sort 36:15 of 80s and 90s hip-hop IP lawsuits that 36:18 happened were all that but this this 36:20 stuff is different it's we're moving 36:21 into uh like like an infinite amount of 36:24 college infinite amount of content 36:28 um era where it's incredibly easy for 36:31 anyone to create anything and right now 36:33 the tools are really janky and you kind 36:36 of have to hack them together a year 36:37 from now two years from now it's 36:39 literally going to be as simple as I 36:42 want to hear 36:43 um a song by Jay-Z 36:46 um about this that or the other and it 36:48 will just make one and then do you share 36:50 that with the world I don't know if you 36:52 share it with the world does anyone get 36:54 compensated I don't know 36:56 um so so we're moving into fascinating 36:58 times 37:00 um 37:00 let's see oh and and Grimes is the the 37:04 mother of his children that's cool and I 37:07 think she's the mother of the one child 37:08 with the really strange name with the X 37:10 named after the space plane 37:13 uh 37:14 um oh Luke and Leah oh so I guess I 37:18 guess not 37:19 um what do I think will be the impact of 37:21 AI on e-commerce 37:23 um 37:27 I think that e-commerce 37:31 I think how you get to the products is 37:33 going to change pretty dramatically I've 37:34 got a buddy of mine has a a sneaker 37:37 company and he spends a tremendous 37:39 amount of time and money 37:41 with SEO strategies and driving people 37:44 to a site and landing pages and all that 37:47 sort of stuff and and he's his company 37:49 is a minimalist shoe company so it's 37:51 it's uh for for you know minimum it's 37:54 for runners and things like that 37:56 and 37:58 you know with with the plugins with chat 38:01 GPT 38:02 um it it points to a future where where 38:04 effectively the internet becomes your 38:06 own personalized version of the internet 38:08 so rather than going to 38:12 um his website and navigating through 38:14 his Pages or landing on a page you got 38:16 to from from SEO you might start with 38:19 you know my knees ache and then that 38:21 might lead you to some answers about you 38:24 know it could be issues with you know 38:26 tendons or posture or running gait and 38:29 that might lead you to to minimalist 38:31 running theories about you know how 38:33 elevated shoes actually screw up your 38:36 knees and then you might say huh I want 38:37 to try this and you're going to learn 38:38 about the theories behind that and then 38:40 you might say you know who are the 38:41 companies within that and it will tell 38:44 you and then you'll see the products and 38:45 then you might just be able to buy the 38:47 product right so so so 38:49 you've got a problem you're trying to 38:51 solve it and within the context of that 38:54 interaction without going anywhere like 38:57 all of the data is brought to you it's 38:58 it's not even brought to you all of the 39:00 data is generated for you 39:03 in context of what you're trying to 39:05 solve so I think I think 39:08 um understanding how that works and 39:11 making sure that your data sets are as 39:14 active as possible in all of the large 39:16 language models is going to be huge so 39:19 it's not SEO search engine optimization 39:22 it is 39:24 llmo 39:26 um large language model optimization I 39:28 don't even know if there is such a thing 39:29 I think both Google and 39:32 Microsoft will 39:34 um 39:35 we'll try to monetize this stuff so so 39:37 they're going to probably put 39:38 advertising within the large language 39:40 model answers but I can tell you this 39:43 because there's so many open source 39:45 large language models if they do it too 39:47 much and their results start to suck 39:49 people will go to other tools people 39:51 will go to tools that work because once 39:53 you experience just getting an answer 39:54 rather than getting a list of 20 things 39:56 that you've got to sift through you 39:58 don't want to go back so 40:00 um so it's going to be interesting to 40:01 see how they monetize this stuff if they 40:03 try to do it with advertising 40:05 um I said I was starting a business what 40:08 is it and how are you going to do it um 40:10 no I've started a business I'm 11 years 40:11 into a business 40:14 um 40:16 I am 40:17 rethinking my business I'm rethinking 40:21 um how we do what we do I'm rethinking 40:23 what the core value proposition is of 40:26 the business 40:28 um I'm rethinking what it 40:30 is and what it can be 40:33 um and I've actually got that decently 40:34 well articulated now 40:36 um and I I showed that to one of our our 40:39 major clients 40:40 um last week 40:42 and they were so excited about it they 40:44 said can you hop on a plane and come out 40:46 here and see us next week to talk about 40:48 it 40:49 so 40:50 um 40:51 so yeah is as as I start to integrate 40:54 what a AI makes possible into my 40:56 business in a lot of ways it's like I'm 40:57 restarting the business 40:59 um but haven't quite done it yet it's 41:01 the business is still what it is but the 41:03 future of it looks very very different 41:07 um what other questions can I ask or can 41:09 I answer I can probably ask a lot of 41:11 them 41:12 um I can also show you some things 41:15 here on uh 41:18 on the internets if you want me to to do 41:20 anything let's see 41:22 um I have an idea using AI for SAS 41:25 project management consulting any advice 41:28 um 41:31 thank you I will be a success I 41:33 appreciate that 41:35 um 41:36 the project management SAS companies are 41:39 really interesting one because I think a 41:40 lot of project management is going to be 41:42 handled automatically 41:45 um 41:46 I don't know how quickly that's gonna 41:48 happen and you could potentially start 41:50 that company right so so if here's the 41:54 thing anywhere where you've got deep 41:55 expertise what I would say is start 41:57 using 41:59 um generative AI 42:01 um to do what you can like chat GPT can 42:04 probably do 42:06 um you know flow charts Gantt charts all 42:08 that sort of stuff if you know sort of 42:10 take the code of what it generates and 42:12 put it in tools that can visualize it 42:15 um it can it can probably do some pretty 42:17 sophisticated stuff right now and if you 42:19 if you use automation tools like zapier 42:21 and I think there's another one called 42:23 make 42:24 um where you can stitch actions together 42:26 you could probably build some pretty 42:28 sophisticated project management tools 42:30 so 42:31 um so I think it's a uh 42:35 I think it's an interesting idea but I 42:37 would be careful not to start something 42:40 that automates project management as it 42:44 is today because project management as 42:47 it is today is going to 42:50 it's just it's going to cease to exist 42:53 in the form it is 42:55 um 42:56 it's going to emerge as something new 42:58 like we still need listen 43:00 we still need people on this planet that 43:02 are good at organizing stuff I'm not one 43:04 of them I need project managers in my 43:06 life because I'm you know I'm a horrific 43:08 mess when it comes to that stuff 43:11 um so we're still gonna need those kind 43:12 of people but a lot of the like a lot of 43:15 the work that project managers do is 43:17 dealing with these massively complicated 43:20 software programs to track these 43:23 massively complicated projects and they 43:25 have the what what I consider magical 43:27 ability to do all that and keep it in 43:29 their head or at least be able to track 43:31 it in these tools 43:33 you know imagine being able to say to a 43:36 tool to just to a a project management 43:40 front end hey the client's going to be 43:42 two days late on this deliverable please 43:46 adjust everything accordingly and it 43:48 just does right it trickles that change 43:51 through you know every element of of the 43:54 the system and it might even be smart 43:56 enough to go 43:58 um you know one of your deadlines is 44:00 marked as critical and this two-day 44:01 delay here you know when I when I when I 44:04 run it down to the bottom of the of the 44:06 plan it's a it's a two-month delay and 44:09 you've got a critical deadline that's 44:11 one month out and it it might flag that 44:13 so then you can go back to the client 44:15 and say hey this two days is going to 44:17 cost us two months down the road do you 44:19 wanna do you want to deal with this now 44:20 or do you want to deal with this later 44:22 um so but again I think I think if 44:25 you've got those skills your ability to 44:27 understand 44:29 um how project management might change 44:31 with these tools is probably better than 44:33 someone who doesn't know it so 44:35 like with everyone I say get curious 44:38 about this stuff lean into it 44:41 um that's what you're afraid of I know 44:42 sorry 44:43 okay great you're the if if you're 44:46 someone who can track all that stuff 44:48 you're a miracle worker in in my uh in 44:52 my world because that's how anything 44:54 gets done around me 44:57 um they wanted to pay the same amount I 44:59 don't know if that's in reference to oh 45:01 wait my wife is an editor writer one of 45:04 her clients came to her and said they 45:05 wanted 10x output for the same amount of 45:07 money yeah 45:08 so so I think that's going to happen a 45:11 lot and then I think you have a choice 45:12 to make so again the the money that 45:14 she's charging is is based on a scarcity 45:17 mindset 45:18 depending on what she's writing if she's 45:20 writing 45:22 um relatively replicable things like 45:25 blog posts or not replicable things that 45:28 are more formulaic 45:30 um where it's the same kind of thing 45:31 over and over again I would say 45:34 um that's the kind of thing where the 45:35 the fact that they're coming to her and 45:37 saying we want 10x output for the same 45:39 price rather than just saying hey thanks 45:41 we've got it from here 45:43 um I think I think a lot of writers are 45:45 going to start facing that reality where 45:47 people are just going to pull this stuff 45:49 in house because they've got someone 45:50 that knows how to use chat gbt and it 45:52 generates enough of this content I've 45:54 generated I've created four different 45:56 content generation tools in the past 45:59 couple of months 46:00 um they're remarkably good they're 46:02 remarkably good 46:03 um if you want you know if what she does 46:06 is is more high-end 46:09 um like in investigative journalism or 46:11 something like that that requires time 46:13 and 46:14 and things like that that might not be a 46:17 situation but I I think you know writing 46:20 is one of those areas where where the 46:22 value of it uh is going to drop 46:25 precipitously I mean we we're moving 46:27 into a world where there's no scarcity 46:29 of content 46:32 um 46:33 okay hey I'm thinking oh wait 46:36 oh she told them to shove it I listen I 46:38 completely understand that I think that 46:42 um 46:43 if she can maintain her rates in in 46:47 what's coming more power to her 46:50 um yeah if you've got your own things 46:52 you can work on then then put put your 46:54 put yeah if she's got skills I would say 46:56 you know put put your effort into 46:59 um projects that you've got more control 47:00 of where where you know you can control 47:03 the outcome as well so 47:05 um yeah it I I think that's not the last 47:08 we'll hear of that uh I'm thinking AI 47:10 could produce new perfume based on my 47:13 personal 47:14 whatever question mark my personal yeah 47:17 um I think so I did a um 47:21 I've got some of my family are in pain 47:24 and they they have this pain juice that 47:27 they took that was some combination of I 47:29 don't know it had turmeric and a bunch 47:31 of other stuff in it 47:33 um and and I use chat GPT to analyze 47:37 what was in it both the active 47:39 ingredients and the inner ingredients I 47:42 had it 47:43 see if it could recommend any other kind 47:46 of things that would help with their 47:47 conditions and it did 47:50 um it then told me the purpose of what 47:52 all of those elements did 47:54 and then I said okay based on that can 47:57 you help me come up with a recipe to 47:59 recreate this stuff because the company 48:01 went out of business 48:02 um and it did that so I would I would 48:04 think that you could very very easily 48:07 ask chat GPT to give you a rundown of 48:10 the different kinds of ingredients that 48:12 are in perfume 48:14 um and even probably kind of reverse 48:16 engineer your favorite perfume and say 48:18 well I like I like what's in this one 48:20 and what's in that one 48:22 depending on what it what it understands 48:24 to be in those things you could probably 48:27 create a personalized perfume 48:30 um formula probably within an hour or 48:33 two so yes you can do that 48:37 now let's see can AI explore Alternative 48:40 Energy Systems like Stan Myers RF 48:42 systems the great fuel processor I think 48:45 that 48:46 um yes I think that AI is going to start 48:49 solving a lot of problems 48:53 um that that have been persistent 48:55 problems 48:57 um so whether it's hydrolysis you know 49:00 getting hydrogen off of water and and 49:03 figuring out a way to do that that's 49:05 actually energy positive like Stan Meyer 49:08 said he had or whether it's curing 49:11 cancer 49:13 um Sam Altman in one of his talks said 49:16 that he thinks that we'll see a year in 49:17 the not too distant future where where 49:20 we will see in a single year the amount 49:23 of scientific advancement we've seen in 49:25 the past 500. 49:27 um so I I think that 49:31 um 49:32 the as as 49:34 these tools get more advanced and 49:38 and more and more people start 49:40 um using them to solve different 49:43 components of problems 49:45 um I think I think we're going to see 49:46 some pretty remarkable changes 49:49 let's see 49:51 um going to have some hard decisions 49:53 coming down the pipeline for many 49:54 working people yeah so here's here's 49:56 here's a here's a silver lining 49:58 hopefully to the Dark Cloud that I mean 50:00 the disruption that's coming is going to 50:02 be massive and it's going to be painful 50:04 but for every person that is displaced 50:07 they also have access to all of these 50:09 powerful tools 50:10 so I think what's going to end up 50:12 happening is you're going to start to 50:14 get you know three or four people that 50:16 got you know dumped from a company 50:18 unceremoniously because you know the 50:20 capitalist machine took over and said 50:22 you know cut the cut the excess 50:25 um they're going to take these tools and 50:27 they're going to start a competitor to 50:29 that company and they're probably going 50:30 to take it down because they're going to 50:31 start it without any baggage of you know 50:34 whatever you know whatever was the 50:36 baggage of that company for the for the 50:38 past decade or 30 years whatever it 50:40 might have been so I think we're going 50:41 to see a lot of innovation I I think 50:43 we're going to see uh the the displaced 50:46 people I mean human beings are going to 50:47 fill their time right there I I there's 50:51 kind of a narrative out there that that 50:52 these machines are going to take 50:54 people's jobs and they're going to 50:57 um 51:00 the people are just going to sit around 51:02 and be destitute and I just it's not 51:04 human nature I think people are going to 51:06 get displaced and they're going to be 51:07 pissed off and they're going to try to 51:08 do eBay or they're going to try to do 51:09 this and that may or may not work 51:11 and then they're going to start be 51:12 playing with AI and all of a sudden 51:14 they're gonna go wait a minute and 51:15 they're going to come up with an idea 51:16 and with themselves or with another 51:19 person or two they're going to be able 51:21 to do remarkable things because of the 51:23 power of these tools right so so this 51:25 doesn't just benefit the big 51:26 corporations it benefits individuals who 51:29 are displaced so 51:31 um so I think there's a bit of a silver 51:32 lining there but I think I think the 51:34 next two to three years 51:36 um are going to be pretty painful 51:39 because 51:40 the definition of what work is and what 51:45 um where the value of certain jobs is is 51:48 going to change dramatically and and so 51:51 I would say getting curious about AI 51:54 being flexible about how you define 51:56 yourself if you define yourself as I'm a 51:59 writer and that's all I do and that's 52:01 all I'm going to think about 52:02 you're probably going to be hurt more 52:04 than someone who goes I've got writing 52:07 skills and I'm willing to apply those 52:08 writing skills in a lot of different 52:10 areas and especially with these tools 52:11 that require some writing skills to get 52:14 good good content out of them 52:16 um you know they're going to do better 52:18 than someone who just tries to stick 52:20 with the way it was because the way it 52:22 was is changing for everyone 52:25 um let's see numerous folks just got 52:27 laid off from Silicon Valley are going 52:29 to be building massive amounts of tools 52:31 exactly 52:32 and and it's actually really interesting 52:34 I heard uh the on Jason kalkanus's 52:37 podcast I forget what it's called but um 52:40 they were talking about this is I I have 52:43 I have no um pity for for VCS facing 52:47 challenges but VCS are going to be 52:48 facing challenges because 52:50 you're not going to need 500 million 52:53 dollars to start up a new technology 52:55 startup with these AI tools you might 52:57 need 30 or 50 million total right or 52:59 less right you know five or ten or two 53:01 or three 53:02 um to create incredibly sophisticated 53:04 companies um and so 53:07 um they're they're not going to be able 53:09 to invest like below a certain threshold 53:11 the big VC firms they don't make any 53:13 money it's not in their business model 53:15 so I think it might even impact the VC 53:17 Market how that works uh yeah no pity 53:20 exactly 53:21 um and yeah I I think I think the 53:24 opportunity for individuals in the next 53:26 two to three years is as massive as the 53:30 impact of people are going to lose their 53:32 jobs right 53:34 um 53:34 these tools are remarkable Sam Altman 53:37 described them as you know putting magic 53:40 in people's hands and see what they do 53:42 with it that's that's what these tools 53:43 are they are magic 53:45 um you just got to look at them like 53:47 that and not be too afraid 53:49 let's see all right I need to go do some 53:52 grocery shopping let's say do I still 53:54 carry guilt over the first time I can 53:57 that's nice committed infidelity 54:02 um what was it I used to there's a joke 54:04 are you still hitting your wife 54:06 um let's see can AI Alternative Energy 54:11 what's good 54:14 um all right I think that's about it 54:16 um this was my first live I don't really 54:18 know how to do these things so if this 54:20 sucks my apologies if this was good I'd 54:21 have a new message what's the new 54:23 message 54:24 yeah I Rock's happy to hear about your 54:25 meeting thank you very much appreciate 54:27 that 54:28 thanks for the views thank you thank you 54:30 all for staying and watching uh I'm 54:32 gonna run off I'm gonna go do some uh 54:34 some grocery shopping get some stuff for 54:36 the fam and uh I will be back I guess 54:39 I'll I'll do these if they're of value I 54:42 don't I don't know where you dropped me 54:43 a comment but drop me a comment or I 54:45 guess you've been dropping them here so 54:48 like I said I'm new to this and I'm an 54:50 old guy so I don't know technology all 54:52 right everybody I'll talk to you soon
